Science begins with an observation, true or false?

Suppose you got a low yield of benzoin from your benzoin condensation reaction and thus only have 0.300 g of benzoin to use as the starting material for this reaction. how much concentrated nitric acid should you add? (concentrated nitric acid is 15.8 m). write your answer in the form x.xx ml

Suppose that during that icy hot lab 65,000 j of energy were transferred to 450 g of water at 20°c what would have have been the final temperature of the water

Water is initially present in a state where its molecules are far apart. during a change of state, its molecules slow down. which change of state has most likely taken place? from a gas to a liquid from a liquid to a gas from a solid to a liquid from a gas to a plasma
